Soil remediation

Agricolture uses one of the largest amounts of water from natural sources (rainwater) or alternative sources (water reuse and wastewater drainage).
About 70% of worldwide water utilization is represented by soil irrigation. Recycling water is a delicate operation, because it may have adverse effects on public health and environment. Depend on this the yield of the land and the consequent quality of the products.
The remediation of contaminated sites is a very complex problem. Traditional treatments for soil remediation are biological, thermal or physical-chemical, but the chemical treatment of soil remediation of dioxin contamination by ozone may be the most effective technical, economical and environmentally friendly. Soil remediation involves the removal of MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether), hydrocarbons, diesel, pesticides, VOCs (Volatile Organic Carbon), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, trichlorethylene, Aromatics and pesticides that can be harmful both for the man who plants and animals.

 In addition, ozone:

• is produced locally so it is not necessary the transport of hazardous chemicals;
  

• does not cause any damage to land and act quickly;
  

• is a powerful oxidant that leaves no toxic residues;
  

• can be administered in the form of ozonated water in the case of polluting surface or in the form of gas through subsurface irrigation systems;
